Matt Deighton - The Common Good Lyrics

What kind of way does the river run,that flows the same
I guess you'll see in the morning then you'll know
So sail away into a peace of mind
Or hang onto the blame
Did you want to be alone?
Please remind me of the things that I can't say or show

So come on with the common good
We give honesty in shoals
Just turn a deaf ear when your number's up
Don't tell us what we know

Fear for your own son, and may you be a part of the come and go
'Cos what kind of painter can do if he can't paint til dawn
It's just withholding precious dreams
Please remind me of the things that I cant say or show

So come on with the common good
We give honesty in shoals
Turn a deaf ear when your number's up
No need to tell us what we know
So come on with the common good
We give honesty in shoals
Turn a deaf ear when your number's up
No need to tell us what we know

So is it enough for me?
To see these arms unfold
It's the last thing I'll ever ask you
And is it enough for me?
To see these arms unfold
It's the last thing that everlasts you.
